Rebecca, as a swordsman, has such a development direction, which is really impressive. He can see some of the future development and understands that this is the direction that Vic thought of when he obtained the Float-Float Fruit. He has to admire Vic's imagination. Even the ability developed by a strong person like Golden Lion is questioned by him, and he can even explore it further.
Thinking about the future when Vic is surrounded by lightning and Rebecca is accompanied by a flying sword, while he himself can at most use Geppo or Shave to make an entrance, his prestige seems a bit low.
It may seem mysterious, powerful, and sophisticated to ordinary people, but to those in the know, it's just the most basic stuff.
Vic is already Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral, and he will become Marine Admiral in the future. He firmly believes this. As Vic's crew member, he also needs some prestige, but his Devil Fruit ability is not strong enough to support him!
"Did you see that? So there's no single way to develop Devil Fruit. I'm just providing you with one direction; you can try other ideas as well."
What I say may not be entirely correct; we need to try to know if there are any results. However, we can't go too far astray. Trying something completely different from the actual situation is a waste of time. You can continue to explore your abilities further; at least for now, it hasn't exceeded the previous analysis!
Barnett is Vic's designated head butler, or more accurately, his first mate; in the pirate world, he would be the vice-captain.
Therefore, Vic has always been generous in teaching him and has high expectations for his future. Although his Devil Fruit ability is still quite average, his potential to Replenish-Replenish Fruit is really great. It just depends on how far he can develop it.
" Barnett! What did you figure out? Tell me!"
Wendy herself hadn't expected it, but after hearing Vic's words, she knew that Barnett had figured it out. Frodeku didn't say anything, but he also pricked up his ears. He was also quite curious about Devil Fruit. He had witnessed many amazing Devil Fruit abilities recently, which were indeed an incredible power that exceeded the ordinary.
"Didn't you guys notice how the Golden Lion used his abilities before?"
He can levitate over several islands simultaneously. If that were replaced with flying swords of equal mass, how many do you think he could get?
If Rebecca could control so many flying swords at the same time, how powerful do you think such a move would be?
"You know, one flying sword can take down a Stupid Vulture, so what if there were more flying swords? Can you imagine?"
Barnett is an exceptionally intelligent person. After watching Rebecca's performance today and seeing the flying swords Vic created, he quickly made the connection and guessed pretty much everything.
However, he wasn't sure where Rebecca's limits lay, and could only make a quality comparison based on Golden Lion's object control, but he overlooked whether the Float-Float Fruit controls objects based on quantity, or perhaps it only considers quantity regardless of size.
However, Vic was quite certain that Paramecia Devil Fruit mostly rely on stamina to power their abilities, so as long as you have enough stamina, you can control more objects.
The Golden Lion, however, was used for large-scale operations, such as controlling ships or islands, which are large and physically demanding tasks. Therefore, the number of islands the Golden Lion could control was limited.
This is exactly the opposite of Rebecca's current development direction, so as long as Rebecca develops the Float-Float Fruit to the point of Awakening, then unleashing a barrage of ten thousand swords will not be a dream. The people in this world do have some limited thinking, and they all think that bigger and longer is more powerful, so the Giant Race is highly respected.
"Ah! This..."
Barnett's words completely stunned Wendy. She had no idea what he was talking about; the scene was truly shocking!
This was only from the perspective of friendly forces; if the enemy saw such a scene, they would probably be terrified. Wendy realized then that Rebecca and the Float-Float Fruit were truly a perfect match, and she was incredibly impressed by Vic's vision and imagination.
How can someone be so outstanding? Then look at Barnett next to me, he seems to only have a sharp mind, but he's a total straight man, which he inherited from Vic.
" Vic, could you take care of this Stupid Vulture? I haven't had your cooking in ages, I'm really craving it!"
While the group was watching Rebecca's performance on the deck, the old man approached them while eating rice crackers and said something.
Since Vic became Rear Admiral, he hasn't cooked much, which is a bit of a waste of his good skills. Today, seeing the ingredients on the deck gave him an idea.
"Grandpa! Are you sure you want to eat this dim-witted vulture? I feel like eating this thing will lower your IQ, it's too stupid!"
The Stupid Vulture is notoriously dull-witted. Even when chased by many large predators, it neither runs nor cries out, seemingly oblivious to the danger. It also enjoys watching the excitement; it just approached the warship to see what was going on.
It is precisely because of its love of watching excitement that it often flies to lively islands to watch the excitement. In addition, due to its huge size, it will often unintentionally trample a few people to death. Therefore, although the Stupid Vulture is silly and looks harmless, it is a creature that must be eliminated on sight.
Similar to pirates, they represent the hope of many who are on the verge of starvation at sea. Lucky ones might encounter the Stupid Vulture, and by making a few noises or gestures, they can attract them and have a chance to survive.
"If you won't eat it, I will! Just do your job well, hahaha!" Garp ignored Vic's teasing, turned around, laughed, and left.
Vic was also helpless. He had originally planned to stay away from this profession, but he couldn't refuse the old man's request to eat. However, he looked down on this Stupid Vulture, as it had no special function other than filling his stomach. If he could catch Sea Kings now, he would definitely prepare a more substantial and nutritious meal for the old man.
Not long after, Rebecca returned on her flying sword, having finished playing. However, this time, more than a dozen flying swords surrounded Rebecca, protecting her like a venomous snake ready to attack at any moment.
As Rebecca approached the warship, the dozen or so flying swords began to swirl rapidly around Rebecca, forming a shimmering white net of swords. The reflected light made Rebecca appear to glow. This was the defensive move she had just devised, and she thought it was pretty cool, so she wanted to show it off to Vic.
Seeing Vic smile at her, Rebecca felt a great sense of accomplishment. With a slight movement of her arm, the sword case on her back automatically opened, and the flying swords that had been circling around her returned to their slots in the sword case as if in an organized and disciplined manner.
